    @Jerik, Star trails are actual recordings of stars and its trails as the earth moves. The camera is exposed for about 13minutes (like in my settings above) to capture this shot. Good thing the sky was clear and there’s a fiesta of stars (as I call it! hehe) that night. It was the perfect time to shoot something like this. Thanks for your comment! =)

    What a beautiful picture! How I wish I have your expertise because I love to see excellent picture like the one you took. One night there was full moon and my 6-year old grandson John Zenon and me were enjoying the evening breeze while we were up in in the veranda our cottage at Villa Igang, my grandson said, “Lolo, let us live here. It is so beautiful with the full moon.” How I wish I know how to take beautiful moon at night at Villa Igang. Congratulations for having taken such a beautiful picture. My grown-up grandchildren took beautiful pictures of the sunset and various places of Villa Igang. These are some pictures I treasure.

    Let me know when you will be back at Villa Igang. I might be there too.

    Thanks for the compliment Dr. Arcelo! =)
    It is indeed a great place to stay.. lots of great views and the evening is jut perfect.
    No plans yet on when to return, but I will surely do. Last time I went there they are still renovating and improving the look of the place.
    Can’t wait to go back once everything is finish!
